The latest viral for blos are these questions to prove your worth as a wargamer.
Well, lets see. 1 point per positive response.

Er...yep. Many times over I suspect. 1pt

* Tried at least 10 different rule sets and vowed never to play half of them ever again
Definately. 1pt

Yes. A Space Marine army. To see what happened to it, see the next point. 1pt

Yes. Two DBA armies many years ago. 1 game, next stop the bring and buy. 1pt

* dropped a box of figures on the floor from a great height
Yes. Tom's Dwarves? 1pt
* lost a battle on the last throw of the dice
Mmmm. 1st Day Gettysburg at Johns. Did we win or lose? It was down to the last throw of the dice though! Lets say 1/2pt
